Rioja Alavesa

At Rioja Alavesa we combine the most popular active tourism experiences among the public with our wine and gastronomic specialization. In this way we always achieve personalized proposals that contemplate the different types of emotions sought by those who turn to us. With this we manage to offer a comprehensive service in which you have everything solved from the first moment and without having to look for part of your event elsewhere.

Along with the knowledge of the highest quality wines produced in the province of Alava, you can ask us for:

• Balloon rides: imagine having a global vision of the configuration of the vineyards, seeing in a general panorama what a wine farm of hundreds of hectares is like. This will be possible thanks to the height we reach in balloon flights since we will move around 1000 meters above the ground.

• Boat trips: for those who prefer water instead of air, we can complete your event by getting on board any of our boats where sailing is enjoyed in a group.

Riding a quad, nature and the countryside are seen differently, at least that's what we think in Rioja Alavesa. You can tour the surroundings of the vineyards of the Rioja Alta region with our 2-hour routes on the seat of these powerful, easy-to-use 4x4 vehicles. . Haro is going to be our starting point, and a monitor will be at the head of the procession to show us the way.

Choose between single-seater or two-seater quads to take routes in which the different obstacles on the roads will not be an impediment for us to overcome. It will be a decision solely based on whether you want to be accompanied or if you prefer to undertake this adventure alone.

Previously, we will give you some short talks as a tutorial on how to use the quad, although its handling is very simple, consisting of only 2 gears. Once the theory has been assimilated, we accelerate our four-wheeled vehicle to the limit to access roads where we can get close to lands that are used for crops and that cannot be reached by tourism.

To be able to drive these SUVs you must be 18 years old and in possession of a type B1 driving license. To be a co-pilot you do not need to meet this requirement. Of course, you must wear the helmet, regardless of your role on the quad.

In case the weather is not good on the day of the reservation, we will provide you with a diver so that you do not end up getting muddy during the Rioja crossing.

In Rioja Alavesa step by step we discover incomparable places in Spanish geography such as the vineyard fields that dot the banks of the Ebro River with our hiking routes >. Through paths, roads and royal ravines we will travel through the Rioja Alta Region from the Alava municipality of Labastida.

Thanks to our 3-hour tour you will discover the legends and stories that have been forged over the centuries in these places where you will come across hermitages, necropolises and dolmens, while you cross the municipalities of Haro, Ezcaray, Santo Domingo de la Calzada, Anguiano and Nájera.

We will travel along paths without major slopes, well marked and flat with the company of guides who will tell us about the characteristics of the land and about wine production. We will also get to know the peculiarities of the area since different types of grapes arise from the conditions of each terrain, which translate into a different flavor and nuance when served on the table.

This route also includes a small lunch so that we can put into practice everything we have learned about the fascinating world of wine

The only material we will need for the excursions will be sufficiently comfortable shoes and clothes that also accompany our movements, since we will spend several hours walking. Our backpack should carry the minimum weight, water and at most something to eat.

Another way to make hiking more interesting is to complement it with a photography workshop through the most beautiful corners of the medieval town of Labastida and the sea of vineyards. Thisnatural landscape photography class of about 3 hours will give you the basic knowledge of any introductory course in this art, thanks to the advice of our guide-photographer. You don't even need a professional camera, nowadays any mobile phone gives you the advantage of perfecting your technique without having to make large financial investments.
